Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations

To the extent applicable, the information in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.08.

Item 8.01 Other Events

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Unico American Corporation (the “Company”) established October 13, 2022 as the date of the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”). The exact time and location of the 2022 Annual Meeting, including the matters to be voted upon, will be specified in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting, which the Company anticipates will be printed on or about September 22, 2022 and sent or made available to stockholders commencing on or about September 22, 2022.

Since the date of the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting has changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date of last year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders who, in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, wish to present proposals for inclusion in the proxy materials relating to the 2022 Annual Meeting must submit their proposals so that they are received by the Company at its principal executive offices no later than the close of business on September 16, 2022, which the Company believes is a reasonable time before it prints and mails its proxy materials. The proposals must satisfy the requirements of the proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and as the rules of the SEC make clear, simply submitting a proposal does not guarantee that it will be included.

The Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), also establish an advance notice procedure with regard to nominations of persons for election to the Board and stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting. Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Bylaws, any other stockholder proposals, including director nominations, to be presented at the 2022 Annual Meeting (other than a matter brought pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8) are required to be given in writing to the Company’s Corporate Secretary and delivered to or mailed and received by the Company no later than the close of business on September 11, 2022, the 10th day following the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting, and must contain information specified in the Company’s Bylaws.
